FIRST THING EV'RY MORNING
(Jimmy Dean - Ruth Roberts)
« © '65 Plainview Diner Music, BMI »
The first thing every morning and the last thing every night
I think of you and all the things I say and do
If only you were here to whisper sweet things to
I tell you how much I love you how I'm longing to hold you tight
The first thing every morning and the last thing every night
Oh I tell you how much I love you...
The very first thing every morning and the last thing every night

UNDER THE SUN
(Joe Shapiro - Lou Stallman)
« © '65 Bro'n Sis Music, BMI »
Under the sun more than just a sun a shinin'
Under the sun people young and love a findin'
Under the sun more than just a sun a shinin'
My heart is shinin' just for you
Under the sun you can see the trees a growin'
Under the sun you can feel the breezes blowin'
Under the sun you can see the trees a growin'
Far beneath the trees are you and me
How I love you how I love you
Yes I love you when you're near or far away
How I love you how I love you yes I love you more each day
Under the sun tender words my lips are sayin'
Under the sun tender for a dream my heart's a prayin'
Under the sun tender words my lips are sayin'
For a love we know we'll always be
How I love you how I love you...
Under the sun head's a arosin' love is spinnin'
Under the sun a brand new way of life's beginnin'
Under the sun head's arosin' love is spinnin'
Spinnin' for the whole wide world to say
How I love you how I love you...
Under the sun head's arosin' love is spinnin'
Under the sun a brand new way of life's beginnin'
Under the sun head's arosin' love is spinnin'
Spinnin' for the whole wide world to see

DEAR HEART
(Jay Livingston - Ray Evans - Henry Mancini)
« © '65 Northridge Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP »
Dear heart wish you were here to warm this night
My dear heart it seems like a year since you went out of my sight
A single room a table for one it's a lonesome town alright
But soon I'll kiss you hello at our front door
And dear heart I want you to know I'll leave your arms never more
[ harmonica ]
A single room a table for one...
But soon I'll kiss you...

TOO MANY TIMES
(Joel Herron)
« © '65 Lehsem Music, ASCAP »
Too many times you've broken my heart
Too many times you said we must part
Each time you left me heart broken and then
Each time you'd say let's be sweethearts again
But too many times you sent me away
This time's the last time and this time I'll stay
For if we'd never part you'll keep breaking my heart
And you've done it too many times
Yeah too many times you sent me away...
You've done it too many times

SOMEDAY (YOU'LL WANT ME TO WANT YOU)
(Jimmy Hodges)
« © '54 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I know that someday you'll want me to want you
When I'm in love with somebody else
You expect me to be true and keep on loving you
Though I am feeling blue you think I can't forget you
Until someday you'll want me to want you
When I am strong for somebody new
Although you don't want me now I'll get along somehow
And then I won't no I won't want you
[ trumpet ]
Until someday you'll want me...
No I won't no I won't want you

SHUTTERS AND BOARDS
(Scott Turner - Audie Murphy)
« © '62 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
(Shutters and boards cover the windows
Of the house where we used to live)
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive
The house that we've built was once filled with laughter
But I changed that laughter to tears
And now I must live in a world without sunshine
Oh how I wish you were here
Shutters and boards cover the windows...
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
And took an old book from the shelf
If you'll open the shutters I'll tear down the boards
Cause I drove every nail by myself
Shutters and boards cover the windows...
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
Since she said she'd never forgive

ANYTIME
(Herbert Lawson)
« © '21 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Anytime you're feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue
Well anytime you feel down hearted
That will prove your love for me is true
Anytime you're thinking bout me
That's the time I'll be thinking of you
So anytime you say that you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you
(Anytime you're feeling lonely anytime you're feeling blue)
And anytime you see a rainbow
That will be a shinin' that the storm is through
Anytime you're thinking bout me...
Anytime you say that you want me back again
That's the time I'll come back home to you

TILL TOMORROW
(Sheldon Harnick - Jerry Bock)
« © '65 Jerry Bock Enterprises, BMI / Mayerling Productions, BMI / R And H Music, BMI »
Twilight descends everyday ends till tomorrow tomorrow
Since we must part here is my heart till tomorrow tomorrow
Clouds drifting by echo a sigh parting is such sweet sorrow
I'm drifting too dreaming of you till tomorrow comes
[ harmonica ]
Till tomorrow tomorrow
[ harmonica ]
Till tomorrow tomorrow
Clouds drifting by echo a sigh...
Till tomorrow comes

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU
(Marvin Moore - Bernie Wayne)
« © '65 Edward B Marks Music, BMI »
Where were you when I needed you when I wanted you when I cried for you
I gave up all my pride for you I'd have died for you but I don't need you now
At last I hear to say you're sorry for all the ways you did me wrong
I used to pray you'd say you're sorry but now you waited too long
Where were you when I needed you...
I guess you thought I'd still be lonely and waitin' patiently for you
I used to pray you'd say you're lonely I found a love that's true
Where were you when I needed you...
I'd have die for you but I don't need you now

ALL BY MYSELF
(Irving Berlin)
« © '57 Irving Berlin Music, ASCAP »
All by myself in the morning all by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair so unhappy there bein' solitare
All by myself I get lonely watching the clock on the shelf
I want to rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
Oh I hate to grow older all by meself
[ trumpet ]
All by myself I get lonely...

PUT ON YOUR OLD GREY BONNET
(Perci Wenrich - Stanley Murphy)
« © '34 WB Music, ASCAP »
On an old farm house veranda there sat Silas and Marinda
Dreamin' of the days gone by
He said deary don't be weary you're always bright and cheery
Now a tear did dim your eye
He said they're not tears of sadness Silas they are tears of gladness
It was fifty years ago the day we wed
Then the old man's dim eyes brighten and his old heart it lighten
As he turned to her and said
Put on your old grey bonnet with all the blue ribbons on it
While I hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover you'll ride up to Dover
On our golden wedding day
Put on your old grey bonnet...
Put on your old grey bonnet...
On our golden wedding day

HARVEST OF SUNSHINE
(Jimmy Dean - Ruth Roberts - Bill Katz)
« © '65 Plainview Diner Music, BMI »
A harvest of sunshine a sky full of blue
A haystack of happiness and buckets of dreams come true
And all the things in whole the world all that I wish for you
It's just a harvest of sunshine and a sky full of blue
(A harvest) a harvest (of sunshine) nothing but sunshine (and a sky full of blue)
And a great big sky full of blue
A haystack of happiness and buckets of dreams come true
Hey look and see though you may be one of one hundred and two
You've got a harvest of sunshine and a sky full of blue
A great big harvest of sunshine and a sky full of blue
